    You deserve the Pizza Andy.

    I was out of breath myself - and I only watched!

    Really enjoyed the day - all the races were excllent and Witton Parkette showed she can do the roads as well as the fells and XC in the U16 Girls race.

    Just wish more secondary schools had sent kids - the primary age group was really well supported, and keep an eye out for the winner - 9 year old girl still in Year 4 and a sub 6 minute mile beating all the lads.

    RR had a cracking run, chasing Tony Ford all the way and they are now 2nd and 3rd on the UK 5K Road Rankings in what was the fastest UK road 5K this year.
    Only Mo Farah in the USA has run quicker.

    Ladies were fantastic as well. Loads of quick times.

    And on my course The first timne I've helped put something like this together. It really gives a buzz I can tell you.

    We are back again this year with some slight tweaks.

    There will be only one 5K race which will also be the NoE 5K Road Champs.

    The Open Race will have cash prizes as last year with up to £500 for the winning man and woman for a record time.

    Fast PB course.

    Last year was arguably the fastest 5K Road Race held anywhere in England - the Power of 10 doesn't show the current rankings but Tony Ford, Andi Jones and Ben Fish all featured up at the top , with only Mo Farah I think quicker than Tony.
    Rebecca Robinson was also very high up in the ladies standings.

    Full programme of junior races as well.

    Hopefully we'll see some of you there.

    You need to get your entries in this weekend if you want to be part of the NoE 5K Champs as an individual or team.
    http://www.ukresults.net/09jul.html#blackburn

    Entry is available on the day, but not with NoE qualification.

    Don't forget the full programme of junior races.

    1 mile for Primary kids - U12.

    1 mile for Secondary Year 7&8 age - U14

    2 mile for Secondary Year 9&10 - U16

    Year 1 upward can do the 5K.
